Add to basketParisiis, apud Andream Wechelum sub Pegaso, in vico Bellovaco, 1556, Prima edizione del «Quod sit». Usuali segni del tempo, nel complesso bell'esemplare con margini ampi. Le «Aristotelicae animadversiones» furono pubblicate a Parigi per la prima volta nel 1543: lo scalpore fu grande date le posizioni fortemente antiaristoteliche… e antiscolastiche di Ramo, che «si era [.] proposto di riformare l'intero corpo delle dottrine dialettiche, seguendo Agricola nella particolare accentuazione del primato dell'inventio e nella richiesta di nuovi criteri di semplicità, brevità ed efficacia didattica». Ben presto arrivò la condanna e l'interdizione all'insegnamento. Dopo alcuni anni, nel 1551, il filosofo riuscì però ad ottenere una cattedra universitaria e nel 1561 si convertì al protestantesimo. Dopo alcuni periodi trascorsi in Germania e Svizzera in cerca di riparo, tornò a Parigi e qui morì nella celebre quanto sanguinosa strage della notte di San Bartolomeo (23-24 agosto 1572), durante la quale i cattolici francesi uccisero migliaia di ugonotti. I venti libri delle «Animadversiones» sono suddivisi in tre sezioni differenti, ciascuno con proprio frontespizio e propria paginazione. Nello specifico, nell'esemplare proposto: libri I-VIII, apud Andream Wechelum, Parisiis, 1556; libri IX-X, apud Andream Wechelum, Parisiis, 1560; libri XI-XX, apud Andream Wechelum, Parisiis, 1556. In fine è unita, dello stesso Ramo, la prima edizione del «Quod sit unica doctrinae instituendae methodus, locus e IX Animadversionum P. Rami», Parisiis, apud Andream Wechelum, 1557, altro tassello fondamentale del suo pensiero sul "metodo": di grande rarità, non se ne riscontra nessuna copia in Iccu. 4 voll. in uno, legatura coeva in piena pergamena floscia con titoli manoscritti al dorso, pp. [16] 328; [16] 271 [1] bianca; 141 [3] con marca tipografica; 22 [1] bianca Prima edizione del «Quod sit».

Add to basketParis, Emmanuel Richard, 1578. 12°, 2 works in one volume, 50-(2) pages ; 127-(1) pages ; 19th-century gold calf, gilt spine with raised bands, boards ruled in triple gilt fillets, boards edges ruled in double gilt fillets, gilt turn-ins (binding by Petit successeur de Simier). Joint lightly rubbed. Rare volume containing Ramus'…s Latin Grammar bound with its abridgement ; first editions given by his friend Nicolas Bergeron. The first edition of Ramus's Latin Grammar appeared in 1559. In the same year, he published an anonymous abridgement entitled Rudimenta grammaticae (Paris, Wechel, 1559). According to Ong, this abridgement was redone by Nicolas Bergeron in 1578 after Ramus's death. (cf. Dominique Couzinet, Inventaire bibliographique des ?uvres de Pierre de La Ramée, dit Ramus (1515-1572), p. 36). Nicolas Bergeron was a polymath and lawyer at the Parliament of Paris. He was one of the two executors of Petrus Ramus. He published a new edition of the compendium of Ramus's grammar and an important collection of prefaces, letters and speeches by Ramus and Omer Talon. (cf. Dominique Couzinet, "Ramus, philosophe, humaniste, réformateur des arts et des sciences") Two rare publications by the Parisian bookseller Emmanuel Richard. This little-known Parisian bookseller ran Plantin's Paris branch for 7 months in 1577, before it was sold to Michel Sonnius due to financial difficulties. Through his wife Jehanne Du Puys, Richard was related to the great Parisian bookseller Jacques Du Puys, who probably recommended him to Plantin. Between 1577 and 1583, he only published half a dozen books. In 1578, his shop was located rue Saint-Jean de Beauvais, « à l'enseigne de Saint-Michel ». He stopped publishing in 1583 but pursued his retail activity and valuations. His name is last mentioned in 1597 in the valuation of the books of the late Jehan Dulac, adviser to the Châtelet. (Cf. Denis Pallier, "La fin de la succursale plantinienne de Paris (1577) : Emmanuel Richard, facture de Plantin", Revue française d'histoire du livre, premier trimestre 1978, n° 1978). Ong, Ramus and Talon inventory, n° 548 et n° 520.

Add to basketParisiis Matthei Davidis [Paris, Mathieu David], 1552. Petit in-8, plein cartonnage vélin à la Bradel, titre doré en long, daté en pied (reliure moderne signée Goy), 126 p., (1) f. blanc [sign. a-h8]. Troisième édition, profondément remaniée par l'auteur, de cette uvre dédiée à Henri II, dont la première édition remonte à 1547.…Pierre de La Ramée dit Ramus (1515-1572), né en Picardie, principal de collège et lecteur royal au Collège des professeurs royaux (aujourd'hui Collège de France), fut le promoteur d'un nouvel organon opposé à la logique scolastique. Sa critique publique d'Aristote lui valut, sous François Ier, l'interdiction d'enseigner la philosophie et de publier des textes philosophiques. Converti au protestantisme dans les années 1560, il périt assassiné le troisième jour de la Saint-Barthélemy. Dans les 'Brutinae Quaestiones', d'un ton véhément, il soumet le 'De Oratore' de Cicéron à une critique systématique, imitant la démarche anti-autoritaire de Cicéron lui-même pour mieux dénoncer le manque de méthode et les contradictions du traité, et lui opposer un système dialectique renouvelé. L'ouvrage suscita une vive polémique. L'influence posthume de Ramus s'étendit à l'Europe réformée et à la Nouvelle-Angleterre, où le ramisme, encyclopédisme fondé sur l'unité de la méthode, joua un rôle majeur dans la formation intellectuelle jusqu'au XVIIe siècle. Caractères italiques, lettrines et marque de l'imprimeur gravée au titre. (Meerhoff, "Ramus et Cicéron", R.S.P.T., vol. 70, n° 1, 1986, p. 25-35. Walter J. Ong, 'Ramus and Talon Inventory', n° 57.

VD 16 L 452. - "Petrus Ramus, or Pierre de la Ramée (15151572), French humanist, was born at the village of Cuth in Picardy in 1515, a. member of a noble but impoverished family; his father was a charco…al-burner. Having gained admission, in a menial capacity, to the college of Navarre, he worked with his hands by day and carried on his studies at night. The reaction against scholasticism was still in full tide; it was the transition time between the old and the new, when the eager and forward looking spirits had first of all to do battle with scholastic Aristotelianism. Ramus outdid his predecessors in the impetuosity of his revolt. On the occasion of taking his degree (1536) he actually took as his thesis "Everything that Aristotle taught is false." This tour de force was followed up by the publication in 1543 of Aristotelicae Animadversiones and Dialecticae Partitiones, the former a criticism on the old logic and the latter a new textbook of the science. What are substantially fresh editions of the Partitiones appeared in 1547 as Institutiones Dialecticae, and in 1548 as Scholae Dialecticae; his Dialectique (1555), a French version of his system, is the earliest work on the subject in the French language. Meanwhile Ramus, as graduate of the university, had opened courses of lectures; but his audacities drew upon him the hostility of the conservative party in philosophy and theology. He was accused of undermining the foundations of philosophy and religion, and the matter was brought before the parlement of Paris, and finally before Francis I. By him it was referred to a commission of five, who found Ramus guilty of having "acted rashly, arrogantly and impudently," and interdicted his lectures (1544). He withdrew from Paris, but soon afterwards returned, the decree against him being cancelled through the influence of the cardinal of Lorraine. In 1551 Henry II. appointed him professor of philosophy and eloquence at the Collège de France, where for a considerable time he lectured before audiences numbering as many as 2000. He published fifty works in his lifetime and nine appeared after his death. In 1561, however, the enmity against him was fanned into flame by his adoption of Protestantism. He had to flee from Paris; and, though he found an asylum in the palace of Fontainebleau, his house was pillaged and his library burned in his absence. He resumed his chair after this for a time, but in 1568 the position of affairs was again so threatening that he found it advisable to ask permission to travel. Returning to France he fell a victim to his opponents in the massacre of St Bartholomew (1572)" (Encyclopedia Britannica Online). - Durchgehend etw. gebräunt.

Minor browning. Small manuscript (ink) corrections on a few pages. Minor worming on a few margins, but not affecting the text. A good copy.A ve…ry rare, richly illustrated, important work in the history of science and mathematics in the Netherlands. This volume is the first Dutch-language textbook on geometry. The Dutch astronomer and mathematician Willebrord Snellius (1580-1626)--of Snell's Law on the refraction of light, famously used also by Descartes--assisted in its preparation. Working from the original Latin text of Petrus Ramus' (1515-1572) Geometriae, Snellius augmented, corrected, and annotated a Dutch-language translation by D.H. Houtman, prepared at Snellius' request. The Dutch mathematician also appended to the end his now-famous demonstration on the area of a triangle, considered fundamental to the history of trigonometry and a starting point in basic modern geodesy; it is still known today as the "Snellius problem" (or the "Snellius-Pothenot problem").The volume includes a poemattributed to Joost van den Vondel (1587-1679), the greatest poet and playwright of the Dutch Golden Age, in praise of Snellius.It is accompanied by a long poem called Loff van de Wijs-konst ("In Praise of Mathematics"), attributedto P.S.--almost certainly the Dutch writer and scholar Petrus Scriverius [1576-1660], given the use of his Latin motto,legendo et scribendo, at the close of the poem. The work's dedication was written by Houtman (a pastor at Loosdrecht) to Adriaan Pauw, then-ruler of Heemstede. The preface is by Snellius.B2265 - meetkunst - wiskunde - mathematica - wetenschapsgeschiedenis - zeldzaam rijk geillustreerd werk over de geschiedenis van de wiskunde - geometrie - de wet van Snellius - Vondel - lof der wiskunde De wet van Snellius of brekingswet is een natuurwet uit de optica die aangeeft hoe lichtstralen gebroken worden op de overgang van het ene medium naar het andere, bijvoorbeeld van lucht naar glas waarin het licht zich met verschillende fasesnelheden voortbeweegt.
